Amartya Sen's Capability Approach: Theoretical Insights and Empirical Applications

Wiebke Kuklys

4.9/5 (16082 ratings)

Description:Kuklys examines how Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sens approach to welfare measurement can be put in practice for poverty and inequality measurement in affluent societies such as the UK. Sen argues that an individuals welfare should not be measured in terms of her income, but in terms what she can actually do or be, her capabilities. In Chapters 1 and 2, Kuklys describes the capability approach from a standard welfare economic point of view and provides a comprehensive literature review of the empirical applications in this area of research. In the remaining chapters, novel econometric techniques are employed to operationalise the concepts of functionings and capability to investigate inequality and poverty in terms of capability in the UK. Kuklys finds that capability measurement is always a useful complement to traditional monetary analysis, and particularly so in the case of capability-deprived disabled individuals.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
